Suzuki Music School

In an effort to continue to provide opportunities of growth and learning to parishioners young and old, the Saint Barbara parish began working together with the Suzuki School of Westport in 2012 to provide an opportunity for anyone interested to learn how to play an instrument.  Extensive studies have shown that people display long-term positive results from playing musical instruments. The benefits of music have been proven effective in strengthening abstract reasoning skills in children.  Learning how to play a musical instrument has also been shown to help reduce stress, increase productivity, develop creativity and build confidence in adults.  

The Suzuki School of Music at Saint Barbara provides a variety of student programs that complement the core Suzuki curriculum.  We offer music lessons in violin, viola, cello, guitar, flute, piano and music theory and run a variety of music classes for mothers and tots from newborn to 6 years of age.  The talented faculty are trained within the Suzuki Method and aim to instill joy and confidence to every student through the medium of music.
